Chapter 211: Chapter 145: Sub-dragon Species Clues, Base Management Personnel

As the graduation assessment was in full swing.

Outside the cave, Moritz and a group of instructors were also discussing the graduation matters of the academy.

“Dean, I heard that this year’s graduates are required to join the underground exploration team after joining the Knight Guard. Is that true?”

“That’s right.” Moritz nodded slightly and said, “This graduation assessment is precisely to prepare them for that, allowing these students to adapt to the underground environment and combat in advance.”

“The underground world is fraught with dangers. Is it a bit too rushed for these students to join the exploration action right after graduation?” A worried instructor said.

Moritz smiled slightly and said, “This precisely shows the expectations Lord Sunan has for this batch of students.”

“Don’t view these students with the eyes of the past. Our academy is the first to cultivate knights in the Entire Starlight Continent, not just the Starlight Principality. Have you seen anyone ascend from an ordinary person to a knight in just four years before?”

Everyone shook their heads one after another.

They had never even heard of it, let alone seen it.

They themselves had painstakingly trained for twenty to thirty years to ascend to become knights.

Before joining the Dragon Heart Knight Academy as instructors, they hadn’t imagined that there was a place that could cultivate a group of knights in just four years.

“So you see, the knight students graduating from the academy now are different from us old folks.”

A look of sentiment appeared on Moritz’s face.

“The world they will be able to see and encounter in the future will be completely different from ours and those knights in the army. Naturally, the requirements for them will be different too.”

All the instructors present were lost in thought.

They all remembered the magic pattern armor they saw not long ago.

It was a magical weapon that, once introduced, would undoubtedly cause a huge stir in the world of knights.

And this powerful weapon was prepared for these students.

As the dean said, the path for these students in the future is vastly different from theirs, and it’s no longer appropriate to view students with old perspectives.

In front of the cave, the open space fell silent for a while.

Everyone waited quietly.

In the underground world, there is no division of day and night, and only a magical hourglass is used to segment time.

The ten-hour assessment time flew by in an instant.

At the moment the time ended, a human-faced lion, who had been resting with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes, took out a whistle, walked to the entrance of the cave, and blew it.

The sharp whistle sounded far into the cave.

Before long, the sound of wings flapping and footsteps came from inside the cave.

One by one, the students, led by red-eyed crows, walked out of the cave.

Almost every student was injured, more or less.

But thankfully, no one died.

Moritz breathed a sigh of relief and immediately instructed to give students healing potions, then began counting points.

During the wait, Sean found Luger and Solano, and seeing that the two were not severely injured, he was relieved.

“How did it go?” Sean asked.

“I only got twenty-five points.” Luger said a bit nervously, “I wonder how this score ranks?”

“I have twenty-four points.” Solano said, then asked, “How about you, Sean?”

Sean smiled a little: “I had some luck. At the last moment, I took out a toad monster and got a ten-point crystal ball, making it fifty-three points in total now.”

“Fifty-three points!” Luger exclaimed, then showed an excited expression, “That’s amazing; first place is definitely yours this time!”

Luger’s voice quickly drew people’s attention around.

“Sean got fifty-three points? Is that true?”

“Amazing, my score is not even half of his.”

“As expected of the top student!”

“Luosi and Kolon both have scores in the forties. Looks like Sean is definitely first again this time.”

Everyone was discussing animatedly.

Luosi and Kolon were both strong competitors vying for the top position with Sean and even these two were no match for Sean, let alone the others.

Indeed, when instructors announced the assessment scores, Sean unsurprisingly took first place.

Luger and Solano both entered the top fifty as well.

All three had faces brimming with joyful smiles.

“Quiet!”

Moritz stepped forward, raised his hand to signal the crowd to quiet down, and then said loudly:

“The graduation assessment is now over. From today onwards, you officially graduate from the academy and are now members of the Knight Guard.”

“You now have a ten-day holiday. After the holiday, report to Ghost Lake City, the city you just saw in the center of the island. You will receive your equipment there and subsequently have your tasks arranged.”

“Additionally, students who acquired the Dragon Blood Fruit should return to the academy for rewards.”

After giving all the instructions, Moritz led the students away.

…

At the same time, the list of assessed students was placed on Sunan’s desk.

“Sean looks like a promising seedling.” Sunan flipped through Sean’s file, nodding to himself.

Judging from the information, even without the Dragon Blood Fruit, Sean could likely ascend to knighthood before the age of thirty through normal training paths.

In terms of talent, he was already better than many noble offspring.

Although the overall quality of the lower-class populace is not as high as that of noble offspring, exceptionally outstanding individuals occasionally appear.

“Prepare the magic pattern armor. When this batch of students comes to report, distribute it to them and let them get accustomed to it for a while.” Sunan ordered.

Four hundred ninety-five sets of level-one magic pattern armor and five sets of level-two magic pattern armor have already been prepared and are now in the warehouse, ready to be armed as soon as personnel arrive.
